OMEGA<\/a> is easily one of the most well-known names in the world of luxury watches. With many of its models being regarded as \u201cmust-own\u201d and \u201cmust-have\u201d in the collections of any and all watch enthusiasts, the brand has enjoyed riding a wave of popularity ever since it was founded over 100 years ago.<\/p>

Founded by Louis Brandt in 1848 in the Swiss city of La Chaux-de-Fonds \u2013 a mecca for watchmakers \u2013 as La Generale Watch Co. it wasn\u2019t until 1903 that the name OMEGA became incorporated. It was a few years earlier in 1848 that Louis\u2019 sons came up with an entirely new in-house manufacturing and production control system, that meant individual parts of watches could be changed with ease. Watches with this functionality were marketed under the OMEGA brand (under the ownership of La Generale Watch Co.), and their success led Louis to break OMEGA off into a completely separate company.<\/p>

During the 1970s OMEGA found itself caught in what was essentially a head-to-head battle with Rolex to see who could be crowned \u201cKing of the Swiss Watch brands\u201d, although both companies had their respective unique selling points. We\u2019ll leave you to argue which company you think has since come out on top.<\/p>

The Swiss watch brand has been the official timekeeper for many industries in its life too, including the British Royal Flying Corps in 1917 and the U.S. Army in 1918 and it even lays claim to being the first watch manufacturer to land on the moon. <\/p>
